Fat dissolving injections are designed to reduce, stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
This treatment works by breaking down fat cells in targeted areas, allowing the body to gradually metabolise and eliminate them over time.
It is not an overall weight loss treatment - it is best suited for refining specific areas.
Suitability depends on fat volume, skin quality and overall health.
Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation to assess suitability and treatment goals.
A grid technique is used to deliver the product into the targeted fat layer. Mild swelling and tenderness are expected as part of the inflammatory response.
Multiple sessions are usually required, spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on the area and amount of fat being treated.
Fat dissolving is most effective for stubborn, localised fat deposits in clients who are close to their ideal weight.
At Musehaus, suitability is assessed carefully to ensure realistic outcomes and safe planning.
Swelling can be noticeable for several days post treatment and may last longer in certain areas.
Tenderness, firmness and temporary lumps are common during the breakdown process.
Results develop gradually over 4-8 weeks as the body processes the fat cells.
Full aftercare guidance will be given to aid healing and promote optimal results.
Fat dissolving may be suitable for clients who:
A full medical screening is required prior to treatment to assess suitability.

When performed correctly and on suitable candidates, fat dissolving treatments are considered safe and effective. Swelling and tenderness are expected, and medical screening is completed beforehand to ensure suitability.
The treatment can feel sharp or have a ‘stinging’ sensation, we do add a numbing agent, and use topical numbing cream to ease discomfort. Post treatment the area might feel warm or tender, discomfort is temporary and typically settles by 48hrs.
Once fat cells are broken down and eliminated, they are gone permanently. However, with weight gain new fat cells can form and existing ones can expand, so maintaining a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle is very important for long term results.
